In Canada, the history of moving spaces can be dated back to the first known people on our land, the First Nations. These types of homes were built to coordinate with their style of living and the environment. “Housing for some tribal groups was permanent, while other residences reflected the need to relocate, often to adjust for a harvest season or to follow a source of food.” (Schwartz, S., n.d.). Therefore, their housing styles reflected these needs. of Moving Spaces History In order to accommodate these needs, there was an importance placed on creating spaces that could be effective in all climates and easily transportable, marking the beginning of moving spaces. One of the most common and well known type of initial moving spaces is the tipi. “Made from buffalo hide fastened around long wooden poles and shaped like a cone, a tipi is a Plains Indian home, which could hold 30 or 40 people comfortably.” (Native American Vault, n.d.). Suiting the nomadic lifestyle of Native Americans, tipis are easy to relocate, they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and they are designed in a way which winds are deflected. However, tipis were more than just a dwelling. They represented community and a sacred space. As time went on, technology advanced and people started to realize the benefits of this type of space, bringing innovation to moving spaces. Portable architecture quickly became a favoured solution for many different situations, such as emergency and military shelters, a place for the homeless, and people that have been deranged due to natural and man-made disasters.

“What is portable architecture? It might be a building, a landscape, a sculptural yet usable object or an interior space, any human-made environment which is brought into existence in a specific place for a limited time, though its impact may continue for much longer.” (World Architecture, 2007). of Moving Spaces Definition Moving spaces, also known as portable architecture, can be demountable, relocatable and are designed to be moved around easily and in a timely manner. Essentially, they are used to respond to the needs of people for disaster relief, affordable housing, education and healthcare. They have a low environmental impact, offer a sense of security, safety, and protection, and can be constructed in a large variety of shapes, sizes and materials. Lightweight Emergency Relocatable/Demountable Portable Flexible/Adaptable Although moving spaces can all be so different, there are a few main characteristics they all have in common and are essentially required: “Because of the way the in which the world is changing, technologically, socially, economically and culturally, it is probable that flexible, transformable, transportable design is as important now as it was when, in past millennia, the nomadic way of life was the dominant one across the planet.” (World Architecture, 2007).

The LoftCube was designed by German designer Werner Aisslinger and is a mobile, highly customizable and innovative living space concept. “According to Werner Aisslinger, successful architecture is a fusion of light, view, closeness and individuality” (PlasticsleMag, 2013). Case Study LoftCube Designer: Werner Aisslinger Classification: Portable Cost: $98,000 CAD - $136,000 CAD Fig. 5 The LoftCube is made up of a steel frame for the main structure and covered with glass windows with optional shading. The inner aluminum frame is lightweight and the roof and floor is made up of four inset tubular columns. The wood facades are constructed using a ratio-facade system that integrate the sliding wood door. There are six different sizes of the LoftCube, however, they are generally 6.25m long and 2.50m high, totalling a surface area of 39 sq. m., with the biggest being 50 sq. m. (LoftCube, n.d.). “The LoftCubes can be linked horizontally or diagonally using gangways. The captivating quality of the LoftCube lies in the fusion of passion, individuality and high- quality. The new LoftCube generation features a brand-new interior including a modular system bathroom, spacious kitchen and lounge area as well as a home- and office environment. (Architizer, n.d.). 4
Case Study LoftCube Designer: Werner Aisslinger Classification: Portable Cost: $98,000 CAD - $136,000 CAD The LoftCube is easily transported by a truck from place to place with its two day disassemble time. To reassemble, it takes about 5-7 days with very minimal noise and debris. “A LoftCube can be used as a mobile home for the modern nomad, a sky lounge for a modern hotel, a garden house that is close to nature, a beach getaway or a minimalist home. “ (InHabitat, 2014). The LoftCube is German engineered and handcrafted in Europe. It consists of high- quality, durable materials and a green building with a low energy consumption kWh/m2a. 5 There is a 10 year warranty included with LoftCube. The steel frame structure resists high wind loads and earthquakes. “Water and electricity connections run through the feet of the pod on which it rests on flat surfaces.” ( Living Pod , 2014). There is a 10 year warranty included with LoftCube. The steel frame structure resists high wind loads and earthquakes. The LoftCube delivery takes between 8 to 10 weeks from the date of order.

As a result of this assignment. I have a much better understanding of what a moving space is and believe it was the first step to eventually completing a successful term project. Learning the history of moving spaces was very eye-opening and I appreciate having an understanding of where this type of space evolved over time. The LoftCube is truly a very innovative moving space and I believe similar to something I would like to design for this term’s project. I think its use of materials and space is intelligent and possesses features that many designers look for in a structure. 6 Conclusion
